Scotties by the Sea

St Andrews

St Andrews BID
Overview

In collaboration with St Andrews Business Improvement District (BID), a brand new art trail came to St Andrews and the North East Fife coastline.

Decorated by artists and communities, our brand new Scottie Dog sculpture formed a free 10-week art trail of discovery for locals and visitors to explore.

Each sculpture was sponsored by local businesses, community groups and education organisations.

After a farewell weekend, where all the sculptures were be seen together, they went up for auction to and raised over £265,000 for charity Maggie’s who provide free support to those with cancer and their families.

Most Voted For

Bru Dog

App players voted for their favourite Scottie sculpture and Bru Dog came out top of the pups!

The wee dug truly has the heart of Scotland. Artists Maisie and Anna Dury took inspiration from Scotland’s favourite Irn-Bru drink and the cheeky chappie also snaffled a traffic cone, a humorous nod to another iconic Scottish sculpture.
